ARM NEON <strong>SIMD</strong> Architecture<br />
• 16 128-bit <strong>SIMD</strong><br />
registers<br />
• Separate<br />
sequential <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>SIMD</strong> processors<br />
• Both have access<br />
to same L2 cache<br />
but separate L1<br />
caches<br />
• Instructions<br />
fetched in ARM<br />
processor <strong>and</strong><br />
sent to NEON<br />
coprocessor<br />
